To start off, I have an original and recast of MM Last Junchoon. As I was flipping through pages of English vol.20 I noticed the Last Junchoon had different shapes of face mask on two separately drawings. I guess this is due to the angle that was drawn from for one of the face. I always thought that the face that came with the Volks MM kit was too long, not that it is inaccurate, just that I prefer the other(shorter) face.

So I went ahead and reshaped the face on my recast and I'm quite happy with the result. How about the rest of you who has this kit? Even for those who does not have it, which do you prefer?

KOG wrote:The reshaped face is not bad at all... but I think I prefer the longer face overall because it fits better with those long cheek guards.

You're right about the cheek guards, they do make the face look much smaller. I can always add some putty and make the face a little bigger . I guess I should just say I prefer to have the straight edged face mask than the original longer face which has a slight curve when looking at it from the side.

According to the english FSS translations (which should be the latest info), the term "ODK" is used to describe the Junchoon after it has been fitted to its final form in JC 4000. Basically, what us kit-builders refer to as "Last Junchoon."

Waaaay back in the day ( like late 80s ) Volks and I think Wave adopted the "ODK" monicker for the Junchoon 2989 version. I'm guessing because it was believed at that time that Sopp's retooling would be the MH's only/final overhaul, and that it would appear in that exact configuration during the mythical Junchoon Vs KOG showdown... Little did they know
